1303.1100 PURPOSE.

This chapter contains requirements of the code that are

mandated by Minnesota Statutes, are needed to
address Minnesota's climatic conditions, or are
otherwise determined necessary to provide a safe
minimum level of construction in an area not
appropriately regulated in the International Building
Code or International Residential Code.
